Preflight Checklist

(2023-03-05): Just had this thought about how much I hate set up time. From my experience working on WATonomous, it should not take 4 months to get set up.

However, pilots have such long preflight checks. And because it is a human process, it takes a LOT of time. In my case, with the F1TENTH Field Usage it’s hard to skip steps, because all these components work differently.

Being very diligent in your documentation is part of being a great engineer, so you don’t shoot yourself in the foot later down the road.
